Range Rover Sport Headrest Video

Posted by csdadmin

These custom built headrest systems are great. Featuring super clean looking 7″ monitors with dual DVDs, they keep the kids entertained and help you stay sane. Two DVD players let each back seat passenger watch the video of their choice, or combine efforts and mirror one screen to the other. One of the most important features of these monitors, particularly for the higher end vehicles, is the ability to closely match the leather color, texture, and stitching of the original interior. This system looks perfectly at home in any vehicle and works like a charm!

 

 

Audi S5 Custom Subwoofer Enclosure

Posted by csdadmin

Just like the M4 I posted a couple weeks ago, (See it here)  this S5 owner needed more bass than the factory installed Bang & Oulfsen premium stereo could provide. This car came with an essentially useless donut spare tire so it was removed to make way for this dual Focal 10 inch custom subwoofer enclosure powered a Pioneer Digital Series Subwoofer Amplifier.

 

BMW M4 Custom Subwoofer

At CSD Audio, it’s all about clean & stealth. We all want our cars to sound better but don’t want to lose storage space. In this M4, I stashed two Focal Access 10 inch subwoofers in a storage area under the floor. Weight was a major concern for this BMW owner so this box was fabricated mostly from fiberglass and weighs only about 8 lbs. Hidden, lightweight, and sounds amazing!

If you like music, you’ll love the new CSD Audio Audi Allroad. I crammed a whole bunch of gear in this wagon, some of the best equipment on the planet. Man this thing sounds great! I could go on and on about specifications, part numbers and so on… but instead I’m just going to suggest you set up a time to come take a listen for yourself. There’s nothing around that sounds quite like it!

Mercedes E55 AMG Tech Upgrade

Posted by csdadmin

This 2001 Mercedes E55 AMG with its supercharged V8 can keep up with just about any new car on the road today. The only thing it was lacking was the current technologies found in newer vehicles. That’s not the case anymore! CSD added a Pioneer DEH-X9600BHS head unit, adding CD, USB, Auxiliary input along with Bluetooth hands-free phone and streaming audio.

One important concern about adding aftermarket equipment is how it will affect the cosmetics of the dash. Particularly in high-end cars, most of their owners want to preserve the integrity of the factory interior. This Pioneer head unit gives us the ability to precisely tune the color and even the intensity of its buttons and display to exactly match the rest of the dash. This makes the aftermarket equipment look perfectly at home in any vehicle in which it is installed.

Toyota Tacoma Double Cab Utopia System

This Taco got the works! The Pioneer AVIC-8000NEX navigation receiver with capacitive touch screen has all the bells & whistles including Navigation, DVD, HD Radio, HDMI input, USB, Bluetooth. CSD also custom integrated the factory USB plug and Back-up camera to use on the new in-dash screen.

The real star of the show is the amazing sound produced by this system. Focal Utopia Be 3-way front speakers were hidden behind the stock grilles with the Beryllium tweeters molded into the sail panels. A Mosconi 6to8 processor, tuned via laptop, sends signal to three Mosconi AS series amplifiers. An Illusion Audio Carbon C12 in a CSD custom enclosure provides the deep, articulate bass. With the amps & subwoofers behind the back seats and the speakers hidden behind factory grilles, this system sounds incredible and is darn near invisible.

Toyota Tacoma Stealth System

In a truck, there’s not a lot of spare room. So we had to think small to get big sound! A custom subwoofer enclosure housing two 10″ Pioneer shallow woofers was stashed behind the back seat. On the driver’s side, two Mosconi amplifiers which power the system were mounted to a custom amp racks and hidden behind the seat as well. Focal K2 Power component speakers were installed in the front doors after thorough sound deadening. Focal Access SG coaxial speakers were added to the rear doors to fill in the sound. The owner of this truck wanted to keep the factory cosmetics of the dash intact so this system was integrated into the stock Toyota navigation unit. The end result is a a tremendous upgrade in sound without any impact on the interior of the vehicle!

Focal Utopia System in Audi RS5

Posted by csdadmin

Over the years I’ve auditioned hundreds of different speakers and the Focal Utopia Be are the best i’ve ever heard. The Audi RS5 is among one of my favorite cars I’ve ever driven. It made perfect sense to combine the two and create one of the best driving experiences available.

A Mosconi 6to8 sound processor was integrated into the stock audio system allowing CSD to keep the factory head unit and cosmetics of the interior completely intact. The 6to8 features integrated equalization, 4-way electronic crossovers and time delay allowing flexible and precise tuning of the car for amazing sound quality. Two Mosconi AS100.4 amplifiers send their power to Focal Utopia Be No. 7 3-way speakers and an 11″ Subwoofer. The amplifiers are fan cooled which allowed them to be mounted under the rear deck, up and out of the way. The door and dash speakers were stealthily installed behind the factory grilles and custom panels were created to house the Beryllium tweeters to keep a stock-looking appearance. The end result is an incredible soundstage from a nearly invisible installation.

The original plan was to install the subwoofer into the rear quarter panel in a small sealed enclosure. After talking to the client, who generally listens to Hip-hop and electronic music, a CSD custom designed vented box was chosen for deep bass and much more output. We designed the woofer enclosure in a down-firing configuration to protect the speaker for when the client puts his golf clubs in the back. It’s also easily removable to save weight on track days.

Dual monitors in a Toyota Sequoia

Posted by csdadmin

This Toyota received a major technology upgrade including in-dash 7″ touchscreen DVD player, iPod video, Bluetooth streaming audio & hands free phone, back-up camera, and a 10″ overhead DVD player for the rear passengers. The whole family can enjoy a movie on both screens or the kids in the back can watch their own DVD player mounted in the roof and listen in using the infrared wireless headphones.
